State Dept ‘Won’t Deny’ Reports of Massive Israeli Spying

Questioned on growing media reports of Israel’s “unrivaled and unseemly” mass spying on the United States, the US State Department has conspicuously insisted they will neither confirm nor deny anything related to the story.

US officials were quoted in the Israeli press saying that the Obama Administration was deliberately avoiding making any comments because it doesn’t want to “make a habit” of responding to media reports of foreign spying.

Newsweek’s Jeff Stein broke the story earlier this month, leading to furious Israeli condemnations, along with blanket denials to doing any spying at all inside the United States.

Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz insisted that the story is a “malicious” effort to intentionally jeopardize US-Israel relations. He reiterated the denials of any truth to the story.

Well, I guess that better than State coming out and lying up front about the whole thing and denying the existence of any wrong doing on the part of holy israel and insulting and threatening anyone who believes such an idea.

Well, I may just give the Israeli's this one. It's hard to actually call it spying when you have so many elected officials falling all over themselves to hand it over for Israel and give in to whatever it demands.
